A Shock‐Tube Facility for Gas‐Phase Chemical Kinetics Studies: Design, Validation, and Application for Methane Oxidation

open access: yesChemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2026.
A high‐pressure shock‐tube facility is developed to investigate high‐temperature chemical‐kinetics for next‐generation combustion systems. The design enables extended test times and integrates multiple optical diagnostics for time‐resolved species detection.

Investigating the Effect of 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate Cetane Improver (2-EHN) on the Autoignition Characteristics of a 1-Butanol–Diesel Blend

open access: yesEnergies
One promising oxygenate additive being considered as a fuel component for diesel engines is 1-butanol. However, since 1-butanol is characterized, like many other alcohols, by poor autoignition properties and, consequently, a low cetane number, the ...

Assessment of Life Safety Risk in Building Fires With an Integrated Fire and Evacuation Model

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This paper presents an integrated simulation methodology that combines fire hazard modeling with pedestrian evacuation analysis to evaluate how tenability conditions affect occupant egress. In the proposed approach, fire scenarios representative of leisure and spa resorts are modeled using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS).

Study of the Effects of Biofuel-Oxygen of Various Origins on a CRDI Diesel Engine Combustion and Emissions

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
The paper presents the effects made by a fossil diesel–HRD (Hydrotreated Renewable Diesel) fuel blend containing Ethanol (E) or Biodiesel (B) on the combustion process, Indicated Thermal Efficiency (ITE), smoke, and pollutant emissions when running

Study on Chemical Kinetic Mechanism of Methanol/Ammonia/n‐Heptane for Engine Combustion

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Methanol and ammonia are considered promising low‐carbon fuel blends for engine applications; however, achieving stable ignition under compression–ignition conditions remains challenging. As a result, a small quantity of n‐heptane can be introduced as a highly reactive pilot fuel to initiate the combustion process. In this study a detailed mechanism is

The mechanism by which CH2O and H2O2 additives affect the autoignition of CH4/air mixtures

open access: yes, 2016
When the fast dissipative time scales become exhausted, the evolution of reacting processes is characterized by slower time scales. Here the case where these slower time scales are of explosive character is considered.

The autoignition of cyclopentane and cyclohexane in a shock tube

open access: yes, 2007
Ignition delay times of cyclohexane-oxygen-argon and cyclopentane-oxygen-argon mixtures have been measured in a shock tube, the onset of ignition being detected by OH radical emission. Mixtures contained 0.5 or 1 % of hydrocarbon for equivalence ratios ranging from 0.5 to 2.

Characteristics of Hydrogen‐Enriched Fuels in Spark and Compression Ignition Engines With Dual Injection System: A Bibliometric Study of Research Evolution

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Recent fuel economy and stringent emissions concerns have stimulated the use of hydrogen in internal combustion engines and to drive dual‐fuel benefits. This paper explicitly conducted a bibliometric study of scholarly articles on hydrogen enrichment of diverse fuels in compression and spark ignition (SI) engines with dual injection systems (DIS ...
